Jim Henson Company Releases Rare Footage Of Kermit And Miss Piggy’s Playfully Tumultuous Bond

The Henson Company releases historic footage capturing the wonderfully complicated dynamic between Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, with Jim Henson describing their connection as a marriage. He says, “It’s been like a marriage, you know? I mean, it’s a sort of relationship that has highs and lows, and you have times when you work very well together and times when you’re slightly, you know, uh, you know, brushing against each other. It’s a bit of kind of like a tension, too. It’s like, I’ll hit you. It’s sparring. …the characters spar with each other.” While Kermit stays quiet when the media brings up Miss Piggy, she speaks freely and joyfully about how romantic he can be, adding even more charm to their iconic partnership.
